Mortal Mage

"Have the people in the Jiaosifang been controlled?" Zhang Mingxuan asked.

"Sir, the suspects from the Jiaosifang have been detained early by Captain Lu, one of the prince's men, and are all in the courtyard." A flagman came out to report.

"Sir, Lord Liu never gets into women. He never goes to places like Jiaosifang and Chunyuelou."

Xiao Feizi was not very noticeable among the tall and strong Lingyu Guards.

Zhang Mingxuan nodded and waved his hand. "You guys continue to search for other clues. I'll go find the prince to find out."

After saying that, he went straight to Li Jing's private room.

"Master Zhang, have you found out?"

Li Jing asked with a folding fan in his hand and raised his eyebrows.

"Prince, you have found out!"

Zhang Mingxuan looked angry and felt upset.

"Looking at Master Zhang's mood, are you doubting me?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

Zhang Mingxuan half-knelt and bowed, and replied in a slightly aggressive tone.

"Since you don't dare, stop talking nonsense and follow me."

Li Jing raised his fan and waved around the room.

A woman in a red gauze skirt tightly wrapped around her with half of her breasts exposed walked out of the house.

Zhang Mingxuan was slightly stunned.

A pretty girl with a fair face and tears in her eyes.

It was Qi Yuan’s son.

"Master Zhang, please come with me."

"I don't know where the prince is taking me. I still have to investigate a case!"

Zhang Mingxuan asked, feeling unhappy, but at the same time curious about what the prince was taking Qi Yuan and his son to do, and why he even asked him to join him.

"If you want to know who killed Lord Liu, follow me. If you want to find out who killed Lord Liu, you can stay here and investigate the case."

"Your Highness, please make it clear!"

Zhang Mingxuan was confused and knelt down and asked in a deep voice.

The prince curled his lips and ignored Zhang Mingxuan. Instead, he led Qi Yuan and a team of personal guards downstairs. "Lu Ming, let's go."

Qi Yuan turned around and winked at Zhang Mingxuan, indicating that Zhang Mingxuan should follow.

Zhang Mingxuan was puzzled. Qi Yuan had a grudge against the prince for killing his father, so why was he so submissive and respectful in front of the emperor today? He even seemed to have cried. Thinking of this, he became even more curious. "Wang Han, you leave ten people here to continue investigating the case. Lao Guo, Lao Dang, take the rest and follow the prince with me."

Wang Han replied yes and left the ten Feather Guards who were investigating the case in the room.

Zhang Mingxuan led more than a hundred Feathered Guards and followed the prince out of the Jiaosifang.

-

The main hall of Wang Mingde’s mansion.

A pale and skinny old man, dressed in a white prison uniform, was sitting in the hall.

He held a pair of chopsticks in trembling hands, staring at the beans on the plate and putting them into his mouth one by one.

"father!"

Qi Yuan's son felt as if there were thousands of sharp knives in his heart. He ran into the hall crying.

The skinny old man was Qi Yuanqinghe.

"Didn't they say Qi Yuanqinghe is dead?"

Zhang Mingxuan followed closely behind the prince, looking at him in horror. He had never seen Qi Yuanqinghe, but this person could only be Qi Yuanqinghe.

"Who did you listen to?"

Li Jing glanced at Zhang Mingxuan with a questioning tone, and he tapped the folding fan in his hand.

Zhang Mingxuan glanced at Guo Zhuoran behind him, who also looked shocked.

"Haha, Master Zhang, do you believe the news spread by the Feather Guard?"

Li Jing pretended to be enlightened, chuckled, and then pointed at Lu Ming. "Since Qi Yuanqinghe has been settled in the palace, and the imperial teacher Bu Dazhen and Ye Buwen have been sent to the border by His Majesty, there are only a few small fish and shrimps left in the palace. You take people to deal with them!"

After he finished speaking, Lu Ming put the scarf in his arms and responded to Li Jing in a soft voice, "Yes."

Then a gust of wind swept through the hall, and Lu Ming flew out of the door in one step. He used his lightness skills to leap several meters, stepped on the eaves of the palace, and flew towards the palace.
